in the Fall 2010 semester (8.2%). If 5% ofthose observations were due to the statistical significant level, then only 3.2% of score sets werenon-normal.A range of +/- 1.5σ on a normal distribution should flag a maximum of 13.4% of the scores inthe course as potential outliers. This is a large enough percentage to minimize the risk of falsenegatives. However, it could easily flag more scores than could be reviewed in a large course.The standard deviation multiplier value could be further increased to reduce the number offlagged outliers. However, this would also increase the number of true outliers that goundetected, violating SC1. Instead, three additional conditions were added to reduce the numberof flagged scores and to satisfy SC2.First

ideal setting for the advancement of physical activity (Keating, et al., 2005; Huang, et al., 22003). To this end, researchers have suggested a greater effort on the part of college faculty andadministration to increase student awareness of the benefits of physical activity and offer moreprograms designed to get students active (Lowry, et al., 2000; Keating, et al., 2005; Kwan, et al.,2012).

There is still some skepticism from faculty members and students that will only be overcome with time, word of mouth endorsement and improvements in the course.These measures should make for an improved experience for the students, improve thequality of the student projects and better prepare them for an industry that increasinglyvalues collaboration.

This means that all participants are atdifferent places and meet in an online room for discussion and interaction. Using this soft-ware for educational settings works just in the same way.
